+[[meta title="GnuTLS 2.6.x enables Monkeysphere to read authentication subkeys"]]
+
+We [announced earlier](/news/modified-gnutls-2.4.x-available) that the
+Monkeysphere project was providing patched versions of GnuTLS to
+support one piece of Monkeysphere functionality. Fortunately, those
+patches are no longer needed, because as of [version
+2.6](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3135),
+GnuTLS contains the necessary functionality natively.
+
+Therefore, our project will no longer provide patched copies of
+GnuTLS, though we will continue to keep the patch alive in in [our git
+repository](/community) until GnuTLS 2.6 has been more widely adopted.
+
+If you were pulling patched versions of GnuTLS 2.4 from the
+Monkeysphere archive, you may prefer to pull GnuTLS 2.6 from [debian's
+experimental archive](http://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental) (at
+least until it GnuTLS 2.6 drops into unstable, which should happen
+shortly after the release of
+[lenny](http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLenny).
